"Life is a guy trying to play..." - Quote by Joseph Campbell

“Your adventure has to be coming out of your own interior. If you are ready for it then doors will open where there were no doors before, and where there would not be doors for anyone else. And you must have courage. It's the call to adventure, which means there is no security, no rules.”

“Perfection isn't human. Human beings are not perfect. What evokes our love--and I mean love, not lust--is the imperfection of the human being. So, when the imperfection of the real person peaks through, say, 'This is a challenge to my compassion.' Then make a try, and something might begin to get going.”

“People who don't have a concept of the whole can do very unfortunate things.”

“There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But who wants easier?”

“If you lead a simple life, and that story is written, then that story will not satisfy. It needs an angle. Suppose there is no angle?”

“I felt a bit bookish, cut off from life.”

“We learn nothing from history except that we learn nothing from history.”

“Let the views of others educate and inform you, but let your decisions be a product of your own conclusions.”

“Master those books you have. Read them thoroughly. Bathe in them until they saturate you. Read and re-read them...digest them...a student will find that his mental constitution is more affected by one book thoroughly mastered than by 20 books he has merely skimmed.”
